One on One Furniture Making Workshops

I’ve been a furniture maker for over 34 years and have had my studio here in downtown, historic Chestertown. Over the years, many visitors have remarked that I am lucky to be able to do what I do for a living. I believe that underlying what they tell me is their own wish to make something with their hands, to spend time in a shop like mine, use the equipment and be able to say, “I made that.”
- Work one on one with furniture maker, designer, author and teacher Bob Ortiz.
- Immerse yourself in a fully equipped professional woodworking shop.
- Make a coffee table, end, hall or sofa table and take it home at the end of the session and know that YOU made it.
- Most workshops last 5 days.
- Workshops individually tailored to your skill level.
